About Key Construction

Our Philosophy

Starting from the tailgate of their Ford Falcon in 1978, Key Construction founders Ken and Dave Wells worked diligently to build a solid company. The greatest contributor to their success was the realization that every relationship provided the opportunity to solidify Key's reputation as a quality contractor. Ken and Dave both realized in order to build lasting relationships, projects not only had to be delivered on time and on budget, but with quality workmanship and honest values.

Key Construction is licensed and has performed work in over 35 states nationwide. We do not specialize in only one type of construction. Instead we focus in four areas: Commercial, Retail, Medical and Industrial. This diversity increases our overall construction knowledge and practices while allowing company individuals to specialize in each area of work and maximize the Owners dollar per project needs.

The structure of Key Construction has not only allowed us to become a contractor of choice for many Owners but a respected partner in lifetime relationships. Building long-term relationships with regional and national firms has always been a Key Construction trademark.

We build a lot of things. But mosty, we build relationships.

Key Community

At Key Construction, we take our social responsibilities very seriously. We place a great deal of importance on national and local charities as well as our labor practices, employee rights and the impact we have on our society as a whole.

Charities
We believe that it's good business sense to give back to the communities where we live and work. We invest financial and human resources through initiatives that address community needs. This strong commitment to community reflects Key Construction's longstanding dedication of making a positive impact on the communities we touch.

Our commitment to these organizations takes many forms. By working with community leaders and organizations, we support our focus areas through employee giving programs, employee involvement programs and corporate contributions, both philanthropic and employee matching.

A Diverse Culture
Key Construction's continuous dedication to diversity and inclusion gives us a unique advantage that benefits our employees, clients and communities. Our efforts to foster this diversity enable us to attract and support a world-class workforce that is well-equipped to meet future challenges.

And they call this work...
We also realize the importance of an engaging work environment, which will allow each employee the opportunity to reach his or her full potential. This also fosters the innovative thinking that Key Construction is known for. To achieve this feeling of community within our organization, we are continuously offering teambuilding events and social occasions, including company-wide golf tournaments and family picnics.
